The Just for Grins Dental Bus Program is one step close to becoming a reality. Children's Volunteer Health Network, the parent organization of the Just For Grins Program, learned last week that the Blue Foundation for a Healthy Florida will be providing about 50% of the funding needed to operate the program for the first year. This was indeed good news. Now Just For Grins is one step closer to helping children who have needs for dental care and cannot afford it. Now any support we can get from the Case Foundation or any other donors becomes even more important so that we can earn our way into funding to secure the Just For Grins Program. So, thank you to the Case Foundation and thank you to the Blue Foundation for a Healthy Florida.

The Children's Volunteer Health Network (CVHN) has done some amazing things - all through the work of volunteers! Now they are moving on to bigger challenges with the launch of the dental bus.
Meeting the kids through the video posted on this site is a truly amazing and humbling experience. Something as routine as a dental check up can actually help save a life - it is something I avoid and take for granted, but I can afford it without a thought. These parents and kids cannot. Watch the video - it is worth every minute!
